Here's the scoreboard for week two:
N = The person to nominate a theme for week five. As I've said above, the person who'd controversially picked Madonna's howlingly awful cover of 'American Pie' was Kern. Except it wasn't really, it was me deliberately picking a bad song as a joke, having invoked the Song Wars' Secret Rule - if you don't pick a song in time, you may well be cruelly tarred with a bad song as your choice. Bwa-ha-ha.
With all that in mind, here are the first 'proper' set of league tables:
And, for the sheer hell of it, a stacked bar chart of how everyone is doing sorted by aggregate votes:
Remember folks, as Peter Snow used to say, that's just a bit of fun, it doesn't mean anything. Well, at least not until I'm closer to the better end of it, anyway.
So, week four. The following themes have been chosen - can everyone still to make their choice think up a track and get it to me by 11:59pm Tues 21st October?
Group A - Chosen by Nirejhenge - "something to fire you up, get you moving, exciting, fast inspiring"
Group B - Chosen by Scarysheep3000 - "songs that have parentheses in their titles"
Group C - Chosen by Spinglo Sponglo! - "songs, about, involving, or sung by Children's Characters (ie from books, tv, film etc)"
Group D - Chosen by Sheepeh - "Songs which have been on a 1980's movie soundtrack"
And for the people picking themes, the following people need to come up with something by the same 23:59 21/10/2008 -
Group A - To be chosen by Mark X - "Songs with numbers in the title"
Group B - To be chosen by Mr Chris - "Songs that are appropriate for our economy taking a nose dive"
Group C - To be chosen by The Rev Owen - "songs with place names in the title"
Group D - To be chosen by Dr Awkward, nee Myoptika - "Epic (anyone choosing that Faith No More song will be frowned upon for not being very funny)"
That's it, really. Except for the fact that I am somehow going to make you all pay for not voting for Stereo Total's Le Diable. It's a brilliant song, you Francophobic lunatics!
